The body’s defense mechanism against disease is the immune system, a large intricate network of interrelated organs, cells, and proteins. Its primary role is to maintain our health. Scientists are investigating how the immune response is affected in humans by factors such as age, dietary habits, physical activity, psychological stress, and other variables. In general, proper lifestyle choices such as exercise, eating well, and reducing stress will boost health advantages and may support immune function.
Plant nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants included in Revive+ may offer additional support in the immune system’s ability to maintain health. Vitamin C and stinging nettle are included for a strong antioxidant defense.
Oxidative stress results when there is an imbalance between the generation of free radicals, or reactive oxygen species, and antioxidant defenses. The human body produces free radicals and other reactive oxygen species (ROS) either naturally through regular metabolic processes or externally from things like ozone, X-rays, smoking, air pollution, and industrial toxins.

As a result, an excess of free radicals damage proteins, lipids, and DNA and cause a variety of illnesses. They are linked to viral infections and can be a key factor in their development. Utilizing antioxidants from an external source can help manage this oxidative cell damage. (2)
Since free radical molecules can harm cells when present in excess, research has shown that vitamin C has an antioxidant activity that is of importance. By increasing the activity of white blood cells, vitamin C also contributes to the immune system function of the body.
Glutathione is an antioxidant made from the amino acids, cysteine, glutamate, and glycine. It’s one of the main enzymatic mechanisms against free radicals. Among its various roles, vitamin C serves as an antioxidant to shield cells from oxidative harm. It also keeps glutathione and other antioxidants in the body’s reserves. Additionally, it has been discovered that by returning oxidized glutathione to its active state vitamin C aids in the reprocessing glutathione. (1)

Popular in Western herbal therapy, stinging nettle is a nutrient-rich plant. Amino acids, protein, flavonoids, and minerals that help develop strong bones–such as iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and zinc—are abundant in stinging nettle.
Stinging nettle is high in vitamin C and activates the lymphatic system, which aids the kidneys in eliminating waste products from the body. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are neutralized by nettle extracts due to its high antioxidant activity. Nettle has the potential to relieve a range of seasonal allergies and has also been shown to prevent and help cure urinary tract infections. (3)
Revive+ includes 100mg of stinging nettle Leaf in addition to 100mg of Vitamin C among other plant ingredients that provide an abundant source of nutrients that may help immune system function. Supplementation along with healthy lifestyle choices serve as the ultimate defense.
